How can I isolate traffic between two specific sites using the Cato API?

Hello Catoers, I'm trying to get an overview of data transferred between sites via the Cato tunnel. I considered using the accountMetrics query to analyze bytesUpstream and bytesDownstream, but that...

Hello Billy,

It feels like this should be possible but unfortunately every time I've looked into it, it's not possible to get inter-site traffic volumes because queries like appStats and accountMetrics either don't support those as filters, or they return no data if that combination of filters is used. You could use eventsFeed with client-side filtering (i.e. after you have downloaded the events) to count a number of events with source = Site A and destination = Site B.

Cheers,

Peter

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for the reply, after further research yes I cannot have the bytes sent from a Site to another, and even using eventsfeed we don' have the information about that.
